Hi Mikey, I know exactly what you're talking about and I have made the mistake of forgetting my ending quotation mark many times!
I agree with KamilZag, CRTL + C will allow you to return to the normal command line and get out of that weirdness.
I also just saw Aschwin's great explanation, yes, if you notice your error soon enough, I have found that I can add the ending " even if I've pressed enter. However, I did not know I could update my commit message, so thank you for that!
I've done it a few times and then I just end up staring blankly at the screen like 'WTF do I do' hit a few keys then close the terminal, but then I have to navigate all the way back to where I was because I don't know any other way. I contemplated Googling it but couldn't think of what to ask without writing an essay.
I appreciate the help! :)
